More intuitive and natural control

Myo Plus makes it possible to utilise the prosthesis control functions in a unique and entirely natural manner. It therefore allows the user to intuitively utilise their remaining capabilities.

Fluid movements without switching

Compared to conventional myoelectric systems, no switching signals, such as CoCo or OpenOpen, are required to switch to a desired grip or function. This allows you to concentrate fully on your activities.

Add additional hand movements yourself

Myo Plus allows the user to continuously adapt their prosthesis control device to their individual needs by adding additional grip types to the bebionic hand.

Myo Plus app

The Myo Plus app lets you easily use and configure your hand prosthesis. It serves as a “window into the prosthesis” and visualizes muscle activities in the residual limb through the spiderplot.

Easily exchange terminal devices

Aside from the bebionic hand, the Myo Plus prosthesis control device is compatible with other analogue and MyoBock terminal devices such as the Electric Greifer. This allows users to choose a solution that is optimally adapted to their activities.

Control device learns from the user

Myo Plus is flexible and learns the individual commands directly from the user. It can be improved at any time by independently adding further recordings in everyday life.

Gebruikerservaring

Myo Plus – Joanna’s story

Johanna lives in Stockholm, has worked as a journalist for a long time and has now recently completed her Master of Law. Due to cancer, she had to have her right hand amputated. Independence and being able to keep up with her children are quite important to Johanna. Myo Plus and her bebionic hand support her in this.

Werkingsprincipe

Myo Plus pattern recognition

Movements carried out by myoelectric prostheses are generated by muscle activity in the residual limb. Unlike a conventional two-channel control device, Myo Plus uses the individual muscle activity (known as movement patterns) that occurs in the residual forearm during different hand movements. Myo Plus learns these movement patterns through a recording process via an app. A certain prosthetic hand grip can be assigned to each learned pattern. The control device thus first learns from the user.

Testing with the Myo Plus Cuff

The Myo Cuff and the Myo Plus App make it easy and flexible to evaluate and train. The Myo Cuff already includes all necessary components and can optionally be connected to a demo prosthesis to allow a realistic experience of different hand prosthesis types and their functionalities.

Fine-tune parameters and turn functions on or off
Available free of charge in the Apple or Google Store

Phantom hand imagination

After an amputation, there is still a certain imagination of the hand - also called phantom hand. The movements that can be performed mentally are called phantom hand movements. These generate muscle signals in the forearm that are interpreted by Myo Plus.
The better the phantom hand imagination, the more reliably the prosthesis can be controlled and the greater the choice of possible grip types.
